All students develop a relevant experiment or test in their own language. The experiment should be meant to test adult speakers with speech or language problems. The students learn how to develop a tool that can test their hypothesis, how to make a score form, think of the procedure, informed consent etc (25% of the final grade). For the final assignment, there will be essays and oral presentations. We distribute the division of the final assignments over two courses (Language and speech disorders in adults/Language and speech disorders in children). In both of these courses, half of the students will do an oral presentation and the other half will have to write an essay. These final assignments will be marked (75% of the final grade).
